I worked for a short time at the Code2Design studio founded by Michael Schmidt (Stuttgart. Under Michael’s supervision I had the opportunity to work on various projects. Below is an industrial design project, where my contribution was the 3D engineering of the product.

The role of an industrial designer is to find solutions; In a nutshell: solving problems of form, functionality, usability, physical ergonomics, marketing, brand development, sustainability, and sales. In fact, in 2009 I worked at the design studio Code2design. Where I followed various projects, especially in the field of bathroom furniture. The LAYA SPOT I Project was different. In the sense that I was lucky, thanks to Michael, to contribute substantially to the evolution of the project and the creative process. Starting from the first sketches to conclude with the creation of a plastic mold.
Industrial Design and Innovation
The very first test object was made of polymers to define all functional and formal aspects. In conclusion, I created the entire mathematical model using Rhino. It was an exciting and engaging work challenge that gave me the opportunity to grow professionally. Francesco Sommacal – Industrial Design Italy.
